1967

'67 was a year for significant Strats, and some of the most iconic performances ever to use Leo's masterpiece.

Only a year after buying his first Strat, Hendrix went about systematically destroying them. He first burned a Strat on stage at the London Astoria on 31 March, and although he was left hospitalised with minor burns, he still pulled the same trick again at the end of his set at Monterey Pop in June.

Finally, George Harrison showcased his psychedelic Rocky Strat during The Beatles' controversial Christmas Day TV premiere of Magical Mystery Tour. You can see Rocky in all its glory during the performance of I Am The Walrus.
